SUMMARY:Nyungnay Purification & Fasting Retreat - Buddhist practice
DESCRIPTION:Apr 13\, 7:00 PM – Apr 15\, 5:00 PM CENTRALOnline RetreatInfo & Registration: https://www.meditateinchicago.org/event-details/nyungnay-purification-fasting-retreat \nThis special fasting and purification practice is traditionally done by Kadampa Centers worldwide on Buddha’s Enlightenment Day\, which is celebrated on April 15. The practice is performed in conjunction with prayers to the Buddha of Compassion\, 1000-Armed Avalokiteshvara\, and is very powerful in purifying negative karma of body\, speech and mind as well as pacifying strong delusions such as desirous attachment and hatred. It is also a special method for receiving blessings and improving our experience of love\, compassion and the supreme good heart of bodhichitta. \nPlease note: Attendance at Precepts at 6:45am is required on each day you plan to attend retreat sessions. \nWHAT TO EXPECT ** ALL TIMES IN CENTRAL!!**– Precepts at 6:45amEach morning of this retreat\, we take Precepts\, a traditional ceremony in which we set the compassionate intention to refrain from harming ourself or others for a period of 24 hours. \n-FastingWe also fast from food\, eating at most only lunch on each day. (One may have water all day.) This moral discipline creates the foundation for effective and powerful purification during the retreat sessions\, therefore attendance at Precepts is required each morning you plan to participate in the retreat. \n-Retreat SessionsWe will be chanting a special prayer called Drop of Essential Nectar to 1000-armed Avalokiteshvara. Within that prayer\, we will collectively make physical or mental prostrations on behalf of all living beings for about 20 minutes while chanting a verse of praise to Avalokiteshvara. Comfortable clothing is recommended. \nSCHEDULETuesday\, April 137 – 8:30pm: Introduction to Nyungnay Purification & Fasting Retreat \nWednesday\, April 14Precepts 6:45-7:15am (attendance is required to participate in any retreat sessions today)Retreat Session 1: 7:30-9amRetreat Session 2: 10:30-12pmlunch break 12-3:30pmRetreat Session 3: 3:30-5pm \nThursday\, April 15Precepts 6:45-7:15am (attendance is required to participate in any retreat sessions today)Retreat Session 1: 7:30-9amRetreat Session 2: 10:30-12pmlunch break 12-3:30pmRetreat Session 3: 3:30-5pm \nTEACHERGen Kelsang Zamling
